hey guys
just thought i would let everyone know about my clubman project. as heading says a swift gti motor with a small turbo setup (8psi).

http://www.redlinegti.com/forum/gallery ... um_id=1407

just to emphasize i am not the builder, red89gti (jason) has done some work on my swift gti previously and talks were underway about putting his gti turbo setup into a mini...
some online searching, a 78 clubman and a donor swift gti later and here we are.

ive driven this turbo setup in red89gti's swift':shock:' and with the mini weighing about 150kg's less, needless to say im pretty keen

also cramming into the mini...

half cage
swift adjustable column
custom made inlet manifold
top mount intercooler
remote brake booster
7.5" front disc setup
full 2 1/4" exhaust, hi flow cat etc...
swift gti tank
2 all black autotechnica reclinable seats
defi boost, oil temp and pressure guages
pioneer head unit and 6x9s
mat black ultralight 13x7s

hopefully up and running soon

Some nice work there

You will sure need some good rubber to put that power to the ground, and I'm a fan of 13x7"s. Does your engineer not require you to have vented discs? Might be easier for you to use the Metro turbo 8.25" setup.

yeah ive been thinking about tyre choice, i know the owner of a bobjane outlet he can get me yokohama's (dont know exact type) for 125 a tyre fitted and aligned. but as for the discs ill have to check with the builder he's been talking with the engineer.

hi all i m doing all the work on the mini . well hope to have in running in the next 3 weeks i m a suzuki gti nut but like all cars if any one needs help with any think suzuki just email me at gtitec@yahoo.com.au
thx
jason
here same of my work

I would definatly check out what brakes you are required to run... I think as said vented ones are needed and a dual master system setup is also required??

yeah we found out that we can squeeze swift gti discs and callipers inside my new wheels

and we are going to have to work something else out for the duel master system

Nice Wheels.

Wow that's quite a unique way of mounting the brake booster

I take it you're not using the standard Mini heater matrix becaue you've blocked off the holoes in the bulkhead for the hoses. Erm - and what about the clutch master?

the clutch well be cable only place i could fit it run the heater hoses same where maybe the fire wall .
thx

I like that idea for the brake master...
Looks complicated though...

dammit!.. you beat me to it.. I had the exact same idea.. got all the bits including a swift booster!.. but got too lazy and just went for the track test without it.. brakes locked up fine so I decided not to do it..

Originally I wanted to use a clutch mater and a slave and mount the slave so it will actuate the booster from the back. This way I can mount it ANYWHERE I want, but the engineer told me the pedal HAS to have a direct mechanical link to the brake master otherwise it defeats the purpose of having 'dual' circuit system.

good job though.. looks very neat and tidy

Cheers
